OMD at Manchester Apollo, 26th September 1979

September 1979 saw OMD start their supporting slot to Gary Numan for the UK part of his 'Touring Principle' shows. This is the only OMD recording I have come across for that tour. This was kindly recorded and provided by Craig Wood.

    Hi! this collage from the Sounds interview that Dave used was done by me some years ago. I have the full interview and I can send it to you gladly. It is one of the oldest in my archives. I also have a lot more from news papers 1979 - 1983 that are not on the internet probably because of the news paper's size that is bigger than the magazines,so not many people took the time to scan them or photograph them. Let me know where to send it, I need an e-mail of Dave's or yours!
    Best regards
